Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ACCESS IS NOT A FAVOR. DIGNITY IS NOT A SPECIAL REQUEST.You may know that something feels wrong-but do you know which law applies, what to request, or what to do when someone says no Disability rights affect nearly every part of everyday life: employment, education, housing, healthcare, transportation, air travel, businesses, government services, and the digital world. Yet those rights are divided across different laws, agencies, legal standards, and deadlines. Knowing that the ADA exists is not enough. You need to know how to use the law when access is denied.In this revised and expanded second edition of Disability Law Secrets, civil rights lawyer and investigator Jana Lomax, J.D., transforms complicated legal rules into clear, practical strategies you can use.Inside, you will learn how to: - Determine which disability law applies to your situation- Recognize discrimination, access barriers, retaliation, and failures to accommodate- Request accommodations and modifications without surrendering your entire medical history- Challenge delays, vague denials, safety excuses, and shifting explanations- Preserve documents, organize evidence, and create a clear written record- Protect important filing deadlines while internal discussions are still underway- Navigate disability rights at work, school, home, healthcare facilities, businesses, government programs, airports, and online- Decide whether conduct may be illegal, unfair, or both-and identify your next stepThis edition includes realistic scenarios involving visible and nonvisible disabilities, ready-to-use scripts, accommodation-request templates, evidence checklists, worksheets, complaint-agency guidance, deadline warnings, a disability-benefits primer, and official legal resources.Written for disabled people as well as parents, caregivers, educators, advocates, service providers, and allies, Disability Law Secrets does not promise that every unfair decision is illegal or that every request will be granted. It gives you something more useful: the knowledge to ask the right questions, make a stronger request, preserve the right evidence, and advocate with clarity and strategy.You do not need to memorize every law to stand up for yourself. You need the right question, the right record, and the right next step.From the author of EEOC Secrets and How to Win Your Discrimination Case. …
